Australian Phone Format <FIX>

Joel

Open: include/class.format.php

Find:

$stripped= preg_replace("/", "", $phone);

if(strlen($stripped) == 7)

return preg_replace("/({3})({4})/", "$1-$2",$stripped);

elseif(strlen($stripped) == 10)

return preg_replace("/({3})({3})({4})/", "($1) $2-$3",$stripped);

else

return $phone;

}

Replace with:

$stripped= preg_replace("/", "", $phone);

if(strlen($stripped) == 8)

return preg_replace("/({4})({4})/", "$1-$2",$stripped);

elseif(strlen($stripped) == 10)

return preg_replace("/({2})({4})({4})/", "($1) $2-$3",$stripped);

else

return $phone;

}

This will show 10 dig phone numbers with correct (AC) 1234-5678

And 8 dig numbers (No Area Code) with 1234-5678

Hope it helps.

Just thought I'd contribute - I have a number of clients from the US in addition to Australia that log calls with me. As such, I tried to make a hybrid of this to support both. It works fine for me at the moment, and I will continue to modify it as I see numbers come through unformatted.

function phone($phone) {

$stripped = preg_replace("/", "", $phone);

if(strlen($stripped) == 7) {

$stripped = preg_replace("/({3})({4})/", "$1-$2",$stripped); // Non-AU xxx-xxxx format

return $stripped;

} elseif(strlen($stripped) == 8) {

$stripped = preg_replace("/({4})({4})/", "$1 $2",$stripped); // AU No Area Code

return $stripped;

} elseif(strlen($stripped) == 10) {

$stripped = preg_replace("/(04{2})({3})({3})/", "($1) $2 $3",$stripped); // AU Mobile Phones

$stripped = preg_replace("/(0{1})({4})({4})/", "($1) $2 $3",$stripped); // AU Area Code

$stripped = preg_replace("/({3})({3})({4})/", "($1)-$2-$3",$stripped); // Non-AU xxx-xxx-xxxx format

return $stripped;

} elseif(strlen($stripped) == 11) {

$stripped = preg_replace("/(61)(4{2})({3})({3})/", "0$2 $3 $4",$stripped); // AU International Mobile

$stripped = preg_replace("/(61)({1})({4})({4})/", "0$2 $3 $4",$stripped); // AU International

$stripped = preg_replace("/(1)({3})({3})({4})/", "$1-($2)-$3-$4",$stripped); // US International 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx format

return $stripped;

} else {

return "(" . $stripped . ")"; // Returns the stripped string in parenthesis to highlight a need to update this function

// return $phone;

}

I updated the code below to handle the local call and toll free AU number format as well (1300 and 1800).

function phone($phone)

{    $stripped = preg_replace("/", "", $phone);
    if(strlen($stripped) == 7) 
    {
        $stripped = preg_replace("/({3})({4})/", "$1-$2",$stripped); // Non-AU xxx-xxxx format
        return $stripped;
    } 
    elseif(strlen($stripped) == 8) 
    {
        $stripped = preg_replace("/({4})({4})/", "$1 $2",$stripped); // AU No Area Code
        return $stripped;
    } 
    elseif(strlen($stripped) == 10) 
    {
        $stripped = preg_replace("/(04{2})({3})({3})/", "($1) $2 $3",$stripped); // AU Mobile Phones
        $stripped = preg_replace("/(0{1})({4})({4})/", "($1) $2 $3",$stripped); // AU Area Code
        $stripped = preg_replace("/(1300)({3})({3})/", "$1 $2 $3",$stripped); // AU 1300
        $stripped = preg_replace("/(1800)({3})({3})/", "$1 $2 $3",$stripped); // AU 1800
        $stripped = preg_replace("/({3})({3})({4})/", "($1)-$2-$3",$stripped); // Non-AU xxx-xxx-xxxx format
        return $stripped;
    } 
    elseif(strlen($stripped) == 11) 
    {
        $stripped = preg_replace("/(61)(4{2})({3})({3})/", "0$2 $3 $4",$stripped); // AU International Mobile
        $stripped = preg_replace("/(61)({1})({4})({4})/", "0$2 $3 $4",$stripped); // AU International
        $stripped = preg_replace("/(1)({3})({3})({4})/", "$1-($2)-$3-$4",$stripped); // US International 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx format
        return $stripped;
    } 
    else 
    {
        return "(" . $stripped . ")"; // Returns the stripped string in parenthesis to highlight a need to update this function
        // return $phone;
    }

}

Does anybody know the correct format for the UK?

Does anybody know the correct format for the UK?

+xx (x) xxx xxx xxxx I think?

Pitchuk

yes uk numbers are that length but spaced like

01234 567 890

or internationally

+44 1234 567 890

the 0 is dropped on international calls and only used in the country

For Norwegians (or anybody with 8 digits..)

$stripped= preg_replace("/", "", $phone);

if(strlen($stripped) == 8)

return preg_replace("/({3})({2})({3})/", "$1 $2 $3",$stripped);

elseif(strlen($stripped) == 10)

return preg_replace("/({3})({2})({3})({2})/", "$1 $2 $3 (+$4)",$stripped);

else

return $phone;

}

I'd have to dispute this, as there are no hard and fast rules about this.

Here are some examples of numbers in the UK:

0845 1111

0845 123456

01234 56789

020 12345678

0845 1234567

01234 567890

01234 5678901

International variants (apart from 08xx numbers) as you state, have country code prefixed, and the leading '0' dropped.

Furthermore, the spacing (other than between the dialling code and number) are added purely for effect to make numbers easier to remember.

e.g.

0845 111 222

0845 11 22 33

Even the space between the dialling code and the main number isn't a requirement, most people add it, but the number is perfectly valid without it, you shouldn't reject a number if it doesn't include it.

If you want to be bored with it in great detail, see the (wiki) page.

Formatting telephone numbers in this way might work in the US, but in my opinion it adds nothing but frustration. Why not simply allow the field to be a plain unformatted string, then it will work everywhere?

fozzy

I'll add the detail that in Italy the leading 0 is NOT dropped adding the international code.

so 02123456 becomes +39 02123456 (the area code is always present too even for local calls).

How can I dercrease length of phone number(default: 7, i need: 3), when creating new ticket, or editing user data?

Thank you!
